The firearm blueprints are the subject of a national debate and a multi-state federal lawsuit filed by the attorneys general of seven states, including New York, and the District of Columbia.

The firearm plans, created by the Texas not-for-profit, Defense Distributed, were blocked from the internet by the U.S. Department of State in 2015, prompting a federal lawsuit by the company. The company lost several rounds in the litigation and appeared ready to settle when the Justice Department caved on the lawsuit, granting the company the right to distribute the deadly information.

Wednesday would have been the first day the company could return to spreading the information on making cheap, untraceable firearms. Instead, the attorney general of 11 states and the District of Columbia filed a lawsuit attempting to block the information from getting out.
